I think Navigator, Viper, and Jetta look better now.

Yeah, I realized that I jumped the gun a little on it, sorry I get emotional about these tragic redesigns from Toyota.

To be honest, I like the sunglass looking front end of the new 9-5!! Its different. It just needs a new damn body. Its ANCIENT!!

The rest I agree with 100%.

Gotta add the Land Cruiser and the ENTIRE BMW line outside of the X5 IMO.

really? I think the navigator looks much better now.....

i guess it's because i drove them for over a year. they've got a ton of better features and sure as hell ride more comfortably...

I have to say I dont agree with one of the choices give. ok maybe the beamer, and the scion but thats it. all of the new ones look fresh and more modern to me.

My biggest gripe besides the 1Gen-to-2Gen SC makeover...is this one








What the hell happened? I was done with Mitsu after this one...

3GS is more elegant but less sporty looking
overall still an improvement IMO
